EPUB Reader - Reader for epub format 16+

I purchased this app to eliminate slightly annoying ads totally worth it if you plan to frequently use this app. Ive used this app to read lots and lots (over 100) of epubs. I upload from Dropbox into this reader; there are other ways to upload content also (once you get to the home menu and settings). Has excellent options that can be used to create a “dark mode” in addition to files native color scheme. Would be “perfect” in my book if it also supported vertical scrolling (in addition to flipping pages) within chapters. Still, I give this app nearly full stars.

I’ve never had (or wanted) an e-reader, but when I wanted a book that cost over $20 for paperback yet was only $2.99 digitally, I figured I’d give it a shot. Using this app, I don’t need a separate device, so I have my book in my phone, ready to read whenever I’m waiting at an appointment or need to kill time before a date or am just lying in bed and don’t feel like getting up to grab the book I forgot in the living room. This app remembers where I was and easily lets me “read” my book with simple swipes. Will it replace tangible books for me? No. But will I totally use it again, the next time I want to read something that’s dramatically cheaper digitally, using this app? Absolutely!

Pro: I use this reader exclusively for its text-to-speech. It has a few glitches, but works well enough & lets me listen to my books that haven’t been turned into audiobooks.

Cons: the description says you can organize documents in the file manager, but after spending a lot of time experimenting with every option I could find, I still can’t make subfolders or move docs out of the inbox. Sure, the sorting feature works, but I like the convenience of having folders, and the app’s description touts its ability to make them and to search subfolders. I wondered if this was a premium feature, so I bought the pro version, but nothing in the UI changed (it’s really, really nice not dealing with the constant onslaught of ads, though — they’re incredibly intrusive)

Even worse, tech support is completely non-responsive. I have emailed them repeatedly to ask how to make folders & move docs, but they haven’t responded.

I’ll continue using this app for reading my books aloud, but I’ll be using Marvin for when I read ePubs, because I have a lot more control there over how I organize them and its UI is much better (note: to be fair, it doesn’t support as many doc formats as this one — it’s a specialized ePub reader).
